It's alright which is good considering I don't tend to like musicals. Also there's yuri

Episode Context

A darkly hypnotic series debut that wastes no time establishing its grim tone. Zombie Stage opens with a collision of polished idol aesthetics and psychological horror, centering on Mizi and Sua in a world where performance means something far more sinister than applause. Expect stylized musical choreography undercut by unsettling body horror, with the emotional weight carried through fragmented memories rather than traditional exposition. The pacing is brisk and visual-driven, leaning hard into melancholic dread over jump scares. Themes of commercial exploitation, lost autonomy, and devastating devotion run throughout. If you're drawn to dark fantasy that weaponizes pop culture aesthetics against itself, this premiere signals exactly the kind of haunting, emotionally charged experience the series intends to deliver.
